With LED lights, you really don't need a bunch of extra amps. They draw very little in comparison to a ambient bulb.
Yeah, red and black. Looks great. I'll be the first to admit, I don't have the mad wood working skills you have so I guess I'm going to be out in the cold.

i almost started to build one, still rendering in my head lmao, besides i ended up building me an enertainment center instead, i figured i'd rather be in the house watching tv hahaha,
last night i was regretting my decision,i have been plowing 22 freaking hours since yesterday at 6am, we got hit harder heavy wet lake effect, i came home jumped on the quad, it isn't the cold that wears ya down, its the rain ,.sleet ,snow,
i know you been plowing so post up some more pics,
canplow, I almost spit coffee everywhere. That's funny.
Glad you like it! Iv never thought of a cab for the quad here in Canada we dress warm turn the heated grips on high and tuck our legs in to the motor Working hard should keep you warm! I have thought about a heated halmet though!
Hey guys, soooooo sorry to say that I missed the snow storm this past week. I was in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for the past week sitting on the beach enjoying the 85-90* weather!!! Just got home tonight...... WTF HAPPENED?!?!?! I left and it was 45* and grass and came home to 15* and a foot of hard crusty snow!
i gotta question, ive thought about building one of these for a long time, but with this winter definitely prolly not...but anyways, does the glass or lexan or whatever fog up with you inside or ever get hard to see from snowflakes? cab heater?
Well, I haven't had any problems with it yet, but I've only plowed with it twice as we haven't really had any snow. Although, I did put some Rain-x anti-fog on the lexan on the inside, and regular rain-x on the outside. I figured it would help with the snow melting on it because I don't have a wiper. It does stay very warm in the cab, I can plow in 15* with a sweatshirt and light gloves!!!
I was looking at these cabs recently. I like the idea of it opening super fast. Even though it doesn't have doors, it takes just a few seconds to swing the cab over and fold it up. It also covers BOTH racks so you have dry storage. Somewhat salty at $369.00 but the easy of use I think makes it worth the price. I'm seriously going to consider one for the up coming season. landed a few plowing accounts local so I might just drive the atv to and from. The downside, I could really use a blower to so driving it there might not work out. Either way, I don't want to be cold and wet from the snow dusting me all day while plowing. If I get it, I'll post pics.
Greg, honestly i would be kind of worried with this setup for a few reasons. First off, with a blower, it is almost a necessity that you have a wiper on a cab...the wind will start blowing and soon enough the cab or atv will be covered with snow and you will have no way to get it off. I think if i had a blower on an atv i probably wouldnt want a soft cover for that reason. I think if you only plowed with it you would be fine...i have also looked at this setup and watched these videos before, its kind of a neat idea, but I think if i wanted to spend 369+ shipping..approx 400 bucks, i would build myself a homemade cab like sportsmanjay did and i bet i could still come in under the 400, and it would be more fun and be better overall, plus you could add a wiper or something to keep the snow off... just my 2 cents
Sorry, I didn't mean I'd have a snow blower on the atv. I meant that I could use my 30in Ariens snow blower at these places but that would require I use my trailer to get everything there. The last driveway I did last season was 5+ miles from home so I just drove the atv there. I didn't need the blower so it was simple to just ride the wheeler there. I could and do use a shovel but when it gets deep the blower is heaven sent. It's a trade off for me. I have customers 30+ miles away that said they'll wait all day if they have to for me to get to them. If I get a bunch more accounts local I'm going to revamp my route. I sure would hate to NOT service the driveway farther away, I make great money in just a single day so it makes it harder to turn down.

30+miles away to plow a driveway thats crazy but I live a small town you must be in a big city 30 miles dont seem much in a city
